Aromatics & Oxygenates in Gasoline Analysis
Rt®-TCEP Columns
(fused silica)
(highly polar phase; 1,2,3-tris[2-cyanoethoxy]propane—not bonded)
• General purpose columns, ideal for aromatics and oxygenates in gasoline.
• Temperature range: 0 °C to 135 °C.
Most gasolines contain aliphatic hydrocarbons up to
n
-dodecane (C12). To improve
identification of the aromatics and oxygenates, it is desirable to elute benzene after C11
and toluene after C12. The extremely polar Rt®-TCEP stationary phase provides a
retention index for benzene greater than 1100 and permits the separation of alcohols
and aromatics from the aliphatic constituents in gasoline.
Rt®-TCEP columns have the same high polarity as TCEP packed columns (precolumns
in ASTM Method D4815 for the analysis of petroleum oxygenates), with the efficiency
of a capillary column. The result is a column that can separate a wide variety of com-
pounds with an elution pattern unattainable using other high polarity siloxanes.
The Rt®-TCEP column incorporates a nonbonded stationary phase coated on a surface
specialized for enhanced polymer stability and extended column lifetime. Solvent rins-
ing should be avoided. Conditioning is necessary only if the column is to be used at
temperatures near the maximum operating temperature.
